live to tell could even be a bond title! theme might not work unless movie was about bond going after the guy who molested him or something, some real 'this time it's personal' stuff
― balls, Friday, 5 October 2012 20:33 (eleven years ago) link
"Live to Tell" is a top-shelf Bond title! Get writin balls
― TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Friday, 5 October 2012 21:42 (eleven years ago) link
Get writin balls? They already covered that.

Didn't clock that Deakins was doing the cinematography. Actually psyched now.

A roundup... more worried about the "lost his parents" mandatory angle than that he's given up smoking.

Few Bond films have one-word title; Goldfinger comes to mind. Skyfall is one of them and to sum up its appeal in one word, it's terrific

glad Ben Whishaw has the classical training necessary to play Q.

Not often a bond fan (never a mendes fan), but really liked this. Looks great, moves quickly, none of that bad-bond stuff where it's all a bit confusing-boring. Bardem disappointed me a tiny bit, but sold on the mid-long term cast. Good at London too, always approve of that.

Rory Kinnear in the Guardian the other day was pointing out that between him, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney and Whishaw, this is possibly the first quadruple-Hamlet film, certainly the first such Bond.

how many keatses in it
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Saturday, 27 October 2012 22:48 (eleven years ago) link
Well that was most enjoyable, though the final Scottish sequence was a little drawn out. Pre-credits was up there with the franchise's best, and gotta approve of any action movie that features a henchman being eaten by a komodo dragon. Casino Royal>Skyfall>>>>>>>>Quantum.

Quantum sucked kinda
― Raymond Cummings, Tuesday, 30 October 2012 03:49 (eleven years ago) link
iirc Quantum didn't have a real script during shooting due to WGA strike; they were making shit up as they went

The title of the thread made me wonder : is there a film series with as many films as the bond ones ? 23 is a lot !

Porn, mostly (hah, moistly is a pretty good typo there).
Other than that there's still a few. "Abbott & Costello" is probably cheating as a film series - I guess the most famous long series would be Godzilla then?

this had many enjoyable moments and was better than quantum but it was somehow leaden and effortful too much of the time. something i miss in this new bond series is bond's smile, his joie de vivre, his don't-give-a-fuck-ness, the suspicion that bedding beautiful women ranks right about the same place in bond's personal hierarchy of importance as tracking down terrorists, the sense that bond is the best not from any sense of loyalty to the mission or even his country but because of the sheer narcissistic pleasure it gives him to be the best

I liked the lack of that - between the Tinker Tailor moments and the gaunt lord of the estate look at the end, they managed to get 10-15 minutes of acting out of Craig, which was more than I expected.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 1 November 2012 12:07 (eleven years ago) link
its just a different vibe, i kinda dig grim fascist bond just because the series had gone so overboard in the other direction so many many times

james bond being a grim jerk is kind of at the core of jamesbondness if u go back to the books
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Thursday, 1 November 2012 14:41 (eleven years ago) link
I should read more of the books! The only time I really did was when I was on a vacation to Cancun and it was kind of cold out, so I laid out next to the pool under a towel and read Casino Royale and a collection of short Bond stories.
― d-_-b (mh), Thursday, 1 November 2012 14:44 (eleven years ago) link
I really like James Bond as an awesome gadabout btw, Brosnan 4eva, but I don't think that Daniel Craig is any good at that, he just seems blank - so I'm glad when they get something out of him.
― Andrew Farrell, Thursday, 1 November 2012 14:54 (eleven years ago) link
idk, being a dude who gets tortured occasionally and runs around killing some people and deceiving others seems to be a thing that'd make you less than jovial

I mean, Fleming's Bond is a virulent misogynist to a point, but it's more that it's 90% misanthropy with a little misogyny on top. I feel like earlier film adaptations played down some of the misogyny by skimming from the bottom 90%, but they're doing a reasonable job of skimming off the top this time around. Opinion might change after I see Skyfall, I guess.
